Full mind. Full body. Full Life.
Break Free from diet culture
Our Mission
Full Mind is dedicated to helping all people find peace with their body and mind by offering evidence-based nutrition information, along with compassionate, inclusive, and informed nutrition therapy and counseling. We adopt a fundamental long-term health approach and debunk the complexities and falsehoods of modern day diet culture. Our mission strives to support individuals and communities in reframing what "health and wellness" looks like by promoting:
- Progress over perfection. People can enjoy their favorite foods, eat until they are satisfied, and take rest days, while still making informed, well-rounded food and movement choices.
- Small, easy, steps lead to big change. Sustainable, life-long, changes are still achievable, even when honoring one's existing routines and habits.
- You don't need to be "sick" or "ill" to seek support. Promoting longevity and healing is possible, even before health issues develop or progress.
- People don't need to change their body to fit into a certain standard. As humans we might not always love everything about ourselves, but we have the ability and decision to appreciate our bodies for allowing us to wake up each day.

Our Values
1
Health At All Sizes
Health should not be measured by a specific number on the scale, the calories you consume, or the steps you take. Relying on these metrics to assess your health can leave you feeling stuck. For instance, if your goal is to walk for 40 minutes daily but you only manage 25 minutes due to time constraints, you still made an effort that benefits your health. Focusing too much on a single number on the scale can lead to emotional ups and downs, as weight fluctuates daily due to various factors like diet, hydration, and temperature. True health encompasses more than just weight loss and appearance; it involves nurturing your mind, body, and spirit.
​
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
​
-WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

Body Neutrality and Positivity
To truly embrace life, it's essential to be the person you are, rather than striving to change yourself or conform to societal standards. Pursuing an identity that isn't yours undermines the unique individual you are. It's normal to have concerns about body image and experience emotional highs and lows, but it's crucial not to let negative thoughts dictate your self-worth. While body positivity can be challenging, shifting towards body neutrality encourages acceptance and gratitude for your abilities and what your body offers beyond mere appearance.
​
"Feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like."
​

Holistic Approach
Our care adopts a holistic approach by emphasizing that the mind and body are interconnected; what impacts one also influences the other. Reframing health and wellness begins by shifting the focus away from physical appearance and initially prioritizing mental and emotional well-being. If you're facing challenges in caring for your emotional health, it's likely that your physical health will also be affected and vice versa.
​
"Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind, and spirit – the realization that everything we do, think, feel, and believe has an effect on our state of wellbeing.”
​
-Greg Anderson

Intuitive/Informed Living
Full Mind redefines eating with intention. Our staff recommend being intuitive and trusting your body, while also staying informed and utilizing science-based evidence. In other words, finding a balance between both eating emotionally and eating logically so that all aspects of health (including physical and mental) are addressed and supported.

“The world’s most sophisticated and sensitive diagnostic apparatus is your own body’s feelings.”
